Are you planning to stage or promote an event? Why not consider doing it in a park or open space? The borough has many beautiful outdoor places ideal for hosting sporting and community events.
Please note that Greenwich Park is a Royal Park and not the responsibility of the council. For enquiries telephone 020 8858 2608.
Who can apply?
Any person, group or organisation can apply to stage an event in a park or open space.
How much does it cost?
For some community events, it is free to hire a park or open space.
For commercial hires, such as fairs and circuses, a fee applies - please call us to discuss.
When to apply
Make your application as soon as you decide to use a particular park or open space. This will give you sufficient time in case you need to:
- get a licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- make arrangements to take care of public safety during the event
- change the location if your initial choice is not available
- alter your plans to comply with terms of the hire, if granted.
